The Survivalist Zone

Well-known member

Most would think it's a "Doomsday Prepper" type site, but it's not only targeted at that. It is really for those that spend a lot of time outdoors and also for those that believe in being prepared for any type of disaster (man made, natural, etc.) and wish to discuss their ideas and viewpoints.

It's light on content right now (needless to say since it's only been in existence for 2 days). I'm using @Audentio's UI.X/Quark combo, and in keeping with the minimalist survivalist nature of the site there is not a lot of customization done to it. As time goes on will probably do some slight customizing that fits more in line with the niche, but not a lot.

I'm in the process of installing @Chris D's excellent gallery on the site with user albums enabled.

Hi Tracy - I am not the huge outdoors guy but I do spend my fair share fishing, camping, hunting, etc. To me the dark theme just doesn't go with the niche. If I was to visit that site by accident, I would have not a clue what it was about without browsing content.

The background reminds me more of a video game. What about having a mixed image in the background more geared towards your overall theme. First aid kits, hunting bows, storm cellars/bunkers, etc.

Enhancing the logo is a great way to tie in your niche.

I am sure you have lots of experience in administration. I am just trying to find ways to enhance a very dark theme.

The survivalist lifestyle involves a little more than just the hunting/camping aspect of it. The planning stages are also vital.
I'm still in the process of trying to find a good style for it. I'm looking at some from Pixelexit and some more of Audentio's stuff.
